[H-GEN] Email Ettiquite; a Sardonic Reminder.

[Ted Percival]

I still find it a PITA that the Humbug mailing list software surrounds
people's posts with a nag message, mostly because it does horrible
things to sanely constructed MIME messages.

I also tend to top-post when I'm not replying to particular points, or
I'm able to supply enough context within my reply. I hope you don't mind.
